Abstract
Intercell fusing apparatus for use in a battery having flat tombstone type connections, each tombstone having a pair of vertically and horizontally outwardly extending portions of fusible material closely surrounding a vertical partition of electrically insulating material having a hole extending horizontally therethrough. It comprises a mold closely surrounding each pair of vertical portions of the tombstones and surrounding a partition portion above the hole, and a pair of interconnected coils preferably having double windings on each side of the partition to effect fusion of the tombstones within the mold when energized by a source of high frequency alternating current.
